I have tried pretty much every P2P mmo, as for F2P I have tried most of them. Does this mean I'm done with mmorpg's? I currently have a WAR sub and although it's a fun game (Better than WoW) I do not completely feel satisfied... I played WoW for years and i am burnt from games similar to it. Does anyone have any suggestions to which game to play? Or does this mean I have no other choice but to quit all MMORPG's?

I do have minor requirements due to the fact that there is no game out there achieving my expectations. Provide me with a name of a game that can pass these 4 points. PLEASE!

These requirements are:

- Decent graphics

- Enjoyable gameplay

     *Enough content to vary

- NO-to-little amount of Spammer (I hate Spammers)

- Enough people


Additional "stuff" if possible.

Something very different from WoW, although I know it's almost impossible.

Enjoyable gameplay is awfully subjective.

I'd say Guild Wars fits your description.  The handful of people that I'd describe as spammers are mostly buying and selling Runescape accounts.  (No, that doesn't make any sense to me, either.)  There aren't that many of them.

Guild Wars does quite a few things differently from WoW, so it's really not a WoW-clone.  The missions vary from each other more than all but a few other games that I can think of--even if not restricting to MMORPGs.

As far as enough people, it doesn't have as many as WoW, but it's definitely in the next tier of games where it isn't necessarily obvious whether game A or game B has more people.  There's no monthly fee, so there isn't a notion of "subscribers", but they've sold over 5 million boxes.  Also importantly, the game doesn't partition the playerbase into rigidly separate servers; one could argue that it doesn't matter how many servers a game has if you'll only ever see the people on one.

Well, pvp seems to suck everywhere now so that leaves pve, and Vanguard has the best pve currently.

Already have GW, all the games except expansion. Not much content imho and it's more of a solo-PvE or simply a PvP game.

Have you tried hard mode?  That was added between the release of Nightfall and Eye of the North.

DDO, Vanguard, EQ2. Best 3, IMO.

DDO, Vanguard, EQ2 tried them all, didn't get as far but wasn't interested. As for CoH/CoV I tried it as well and although it's a good game i'm not much into it's gamestyle. As for EvE-Online I have no yet tried it, downloaded the trial and out of an act of desesperation, I had no patience and did not go any further. I might try EvE although it's complicity is far more than expected. I'd have to download a trial once again to see if I trully like it.

 Have you tried AOC? I heard that after the server merges it's improved alot.  You can also try perfect world or any of the aeria games. 

And if none of those things float your boat why not try some browser games? Not very time consuming and usually have very good communities.

It keeps the majority of the munchkins out.

Indeed it does... Reason why I'm going to try it out.
